Would CompTIA certification help with getting into the British Army as a comms engineer system operator?

Hello Anwar,

The British Army provides all training required to perform the job you are employed to do. As a result, we only ask that people provide evidence of their ability to learn by having GCSEs in certain subjects. For Communications Engineer Systems Operator, you will need GCSE grade D/3 or better in English and a grade D/3 or better in maths, science or IT. Although having CompTIA certification wont help you to get into the British Army, it will provide you with a strong basis from which to learn if you join the Royal Corps of Signals.
